Infinity

[Bruins8000]

Trying to reconcile infinity with the possibility of a finite universe.

 

What if the universe and space-time was curved? Say you create a magnificent spaceship that reaches the absolute end of this universe but at the end you just start back where you began. How can a “closed” system such as this be reconciled with infinity? Is there a nothingness/somethingness beyond this even though it couldn’t be penetrated? It would be ALL but would also be limited.

This isn’t easy to convey but essentially if a finite universe was proven to be true how does that reconcile with infinity?

You can reconcile it by realizing that the “finite universe” is a construction of infinite consciousness. That includes time, space and any notion of an external physical reality. Physical reality is a subset of what consciousness can be.

Your visual field has infinite resolution. That means you can zoom into it forever. You can also zoom out of it forever.

Infinity IS a totally closed system. It's just infinite in all directions.

Infinity is so open that it's closed.

There should be a mathematical definition of this.

Infinity means that everything is infinite. Finite is only an appearance. A proton have infinite depth. The limits are just a perception. A finite universe just seems finite, but it's substance is the infinity, and any piece of infinity is the entire infinity. That's why they say reality is a dream. The finite universe is just a dream of god, in the sense of it's just an appearance, a mental construction
